This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

No, actually they and the military quite a bit dislike Orban regardless of their political standing! He started his first 4 year by fucking over their benefits and retirement plan… What did you see?
Police declining to execute European Arrest Warrant, inconvenient to Orban.
Not one person, not in the public sector is going to stand up in defiance alone?
My dad works in the army, he and his colleagues were out on the pride (which was kinda a protest too since the Orban said we can’t have a pride)! He didn’t agree with… well anything (gonna be a fun day when he finds out I am bi) but in a face mask, a face covering shawl and a sunglass he was out there
Generic sentiment that Orban is dictatorial coupled with an association of dictatorships and a dependency on the military? That's probably enough to be getting on with, ain't nobody got time to know about everything. But actually not OP, I probably would've drawn the same inferences and am enlightened by you.
Orbans rule is not that of military one? Despite his best efforts we are atill a European country
His rule can be thanked to a multitude of reasons mainly: -Gerrymandering: With 43% of vites he received 76% mandate somehow in the last cycle -Insane levels of corruption that among other thing were used to buy and build a media empire to control the narrative -Lack of real opposition: all were bought or their rep destroyed by the before mentioned news empire! Peter Magyar seems like he will finally finally win ag Orban, as his name is kinda impervious (he used to be the husband of the formal minister of justice; someone who were forced to stepped down after she gave pardon to the pedofile friend of Orbans brother) and to some degree he was a party member, tho neither site is willing to reveal how much… And tho every election cycle had the same hype: that fidesz is finally going to prison…
